ELITE

  • 100% aluminum body. Not a single bit of fabric
  • Reinforced enlarged cabin with a greater amount of space for
    either cargo or additional passengers
  • Reinforced airframe able to accommodate up to 180 horsepower
  • Cantilevered rear stabilizer
  • All together an amazing float plane capable of accommodating
    up to four passengers.
  • Droop tips

OPTIONAL TRICYCLE GEAR

Tricycle gear aircraft are easier to land because the attitude required to land on the main gear is the same as that required in the flare, and they are less vulnerable to crosswinds.

The nosewheel is free swiveling and steering is accomplished through differential brake input, similar to steering amphibian floats. The tricycle gear mounts to two 2” square tubes running across the floor, and is sandwiched between four layers of skin thickness to absorb the landing loads and hold the gear steady.

INSTRUMENTS

The instrument panel has been increased in depth and rounded on top, giving even more room to customize it for your needs.

WINGS

  • Modified NACA 4415 airfoil a proven
    profile
  • Large centre of gravity range.
  • Constant chord with no washout
  • Reliable stall characteristics
  • Simple assembly.
  • Droop tips

CABIN

Reinforced enlarged cabin with a greater amount of space for either cargo or additional passengers.

CANTILEVER

  • One piece cantilevered component
    coupled to a one piece elevator.
  • Reduces drag
  • Simplifies building process
  • Superior stability and control
